Abstract

We present a mathematical model of aggressive mimicry systems in which predators lure prey by mimicking food items of those prey. We use this model to explore potential dynamics of mimicry systems where a bad outcome results in death. This leads to some counterintuitive expectations not found in earlier models of aggressive mimicry that have not included the potential for dupe death.
